Mariano Ferreira wanted to say goodbye to the fans with an emotional letter that he posted on his social media:
I want to thank Sevilla FC and their passionate fans for the affection and respect they've showed toward my family and I during the time I've worn and honoured the gigantic white and red jersey. Today I am a true sevillista, and wherever I am, I will suffer and celebrate with you. I lived losses that have made me learn and grow, but I lived even more unforgettable moments and victories that have made me an eternal supporter of this club. Our Europa League is the most important title of my life because, besides it being extremely prestigious, it was conquered next to a group of true warriors, because I wore the jersey of a huge club and, I represented an immense and fanatic crowd that deserve everything!
Vamos mi Sevilla! Always in my heart!
